A theory is developed to describe the superfluid turbulence on the base of kinetics of the merging and splitting vortex loops. Because of very frequent reconnections the vortex loops (as a whole) do not live long enough to perform any essential evolution due to the deterministic motion. On the contrary, they rapidly merge and split, and these random recombination processes prevail over other slower dynamic processes. To develop quantitative description we take the vortex loops to have a Brownian structure with the only degree of freedom, which is the length $l$ of the loop. We perform investigation on the base of the Boltzmann type kinetic equation for the distribution function $n(l)$ of number of loops with length $l$. By use of the special ansatz in the collision integral we have found the exact power-like solution to kinetic equation in the stationary case. This solution is not (thermodynamically) equilibrium, but on the contrary, it describes the state with two mutual fluxes of the length (or energy) in space of sizes of the vortex loops. The term flux means just redistribution of length (or energy) among the loops of different sizes due to reconnections. Analyzing this solution we drew several results on the structure and dynamics of the vortex tangle in the turbulent superfluid helium. In particular, we evaluated the mean radius of the curvature and the full rate of the reconnection events. We also studied the evolution of the full length of vortex loops per unit volume-the so-called vortex line density. It is shown this evolution to obey the famous Vinen equation. The properties of the Vinen equation from the point of view of the developed approach had been discussed.

用涡环重整化方法计算了超流膜中临界Casimir力的大小。当热涡环的大小与薄膜厚度相当时,力变得明显,并且T Tc的结果< Tc are found to match very well with perturbative renormalization theories that have only been carried out for T >。当施加到连接到大块样品的高Tc超导膜时,卡西米尔力导致膜和大块之间出现电压差,估计表明这可能是容易测量的。
